What is the reason for different values of jaundice in newborns at different parts?

Patient's question:

How to check for jaundice in babies? Where can you look to know if the jaundice has subsided? Which parts of the baby should be exposed to sunlight for the most effective jaundice treatment? Which parts of the baby are affected by jaundice? Do different parts of the baby have different jaundice levels?

Doctor's answer:

Baby jaundice usually starts from the cheeks or the eyes, around 3 to 4 days after birth. It's easy to develop jaundice. You can take herbal medicine to reduce jaundice or other medications. Give the baby more water to promote metabolism and excrete jaundice. If it's confirmed as pathological jaundice, it's still recommended that you take the baby to a larger local hospital for further diagnosis and examination. Then, make reasonable choices based on the examination results.
